Feature Request: Ban cheating #126

Open petejayhawk opened 7 months ago

petejayhawk commented 7 months ago

Feature Description A way to ban cheating - it takes roughly 30 seconds to type all the words in when you have a list of them sitting right in front of you (I tested in incognito mode). If someone is consistently getting scores of under 60 seconds, or even 90 seconds, clearly they are cheating and should be banned - to be able to solve that quickly day in and day out with random words is simply not possible.

Motivation This would keep the rankings more meaningful for those of us who are competitive but do not cheat, and who wish to have an accurate gauge of our abilities vs others.

I would suggest that duotrigordle, using whatever methods are available, simply identify performance that is 'suspicious' and allow the user to filter out 'suspicious' results, as is done for 'solve assist'.

Yes, I am aware of illegitimate scores on the leaderboard and am working on addressing them. Please keep in mind that I don't want to give cheaters too much attention by engaging with them, which may encourage their behaviour.
